DB - Final Question

For my current project, I need a database (Eu or MySQL), front-end (Eu or
?), and web server (Eu or ?). Right now I'm focusing on the database and
front-end. Here are my options:

1. Eu database with Eu front-end
2. MySQL database with Eu front-end
3. MySQL database with xx front-end

Concerns:
    a. multi-threads - for multi-user access
    b. web serving
    c. scalability - for millions of records in multiple databases
    d. multi-platform capability - starting w/Linux but client might want a
Windows version in future

One of my thoughts is, I can start with a Eu DB and, when time to scale up,
export the data to a MySQL DB.

Rob Craig, I'd particularly like your input on this, as you know the secrets
of Euphoria capability. I want either assurance or denial that EU can handle
the tasks specified. For instance, how many database requests can a Euphoria
web server take and fulfill per second? (I'll examine on the docs on EDS
after this email, but I'm sure you've done more extensive testing).

Anybody else, please provide your comments! I'm making a final decision and
starting work on this project Sunday (Feb. 11, 2001).

Thanks in advance!
